Worth grading — even a PSA 9 beats raw
A Grade 9.5 Heung-Min Son [Printing Plate] #7 sells for $503 against $78.46 raw: a $425 spread, 6.4× the ungraded price. Even a PSA 9 ($458) clears the raw price after an economy-tier ~$25 fee, so a near-miss still comes out ahead. Centering is the usual reason a clean copy misses the 10 — measure it before you submit.
